Ingredients Needed
- Whole Wheat Flour: I opted for using whole wheat flour. For a healthy option, you can also use all-purpose flour
- Eggs: I used large eggs
- Canned Pumpkin: Be sure not to grab pumpkin puree. Otherwise, it will be too sweet.
- Butter: I used unsalted butter.
- Water: Use cold water
- Seasonings: Salt and Ground Cinnamon
How To Make Air Fryer Dog Treats
Step One: Combine the flour, eggs, canned pumpkin, butter, salt, and ground cinnamon in a large bowl. Slowly add water until it reaches the consistency of dough.
Step Two: On a floured surface, roll out the dough until about ⅓ inch thick, and then using your cookie cutters, cut out the shapes.
Step Three: Layout a parchment paper into the air fryer basket, and add the cut-out dog treats. Be careful to leave plenty of space around the biscuits. Set the air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 4-6 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully cooked. Remove biscuits and let cool completely before serving the dogs or storing them.
Air Fryer Dog Treats Recipe Tips
- Use dog-safe ingredients only – Avoid using xylitol, nutmeg, or chocolate. Stick to pup-friendly items like pumpkin, peanut butter (xylitol-free), and whole wheat flour.
- Adjust the dough consistency – If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, mix in a bit of water until it’s workable.
- Roll evenly for consistent cooking – Keep dough thickness around ¼ to ⅓ inch so the treats cook evenly in the air fryer.
- Let them cool completely – Always cool the treats before serving to your dog to avoid any risk of burning their mouth.
Storing Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store cooled dog treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Refrigerator: For longer freshness, refrigerate them in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.

If you are making these biscuits with peanut butter, please make sure it’s doggie peanut butter not the human kind as that is dangerous for dogs.
